"Dude,
we found some black ice, but ended up grinding a hill and copping some
road rash."

We
dig Fritz Blaw and his Motorblade inline skate school. If you want to
learn basic inline skating techniques, as well as street stunts, tricks,
and games such as roller hockey, he's the man. Call (512) 323-5457 for
classes. Also, email fritz@motorblade.com

The
Veloway, of course. A 3.1 mile, off street, paved bicycle and
blading track. It's free and open from sun up to sun down. Check out this
link for a description. It's located near the corner of South
Mopac Expressway and La Crosse Avenue. Check out this
map for details.

A place you shouldn't skate at is the former
Mueller Airport which is now closed. Acres and acres of flat,
paved surfaces, but it's city-owned land. Um, so, you didn't hear about it
here.
